Disputed items are not removed from your credit report during the period of "verification". If you dispute an entry with a collection agency, they are supposed to notate the disputed account upon their next update. Updating the trade line without that notation constitutes continued collection activity and is a violation of law. There is no such obligation on the credit bureaus themselves. They simply must complete their verification within 30 days from receiving your dispute. If the reporting creditor verified the trade line within that time period, you are informed. If the reporting creditor fails to respond, or does not verify, the trade line is shielded from further reports.

If a creditor has a judgment against you but has died who do you pay or how can you have the judgment removed?

The judgment would of come through the court system. You would need to contact the court to know who to pay. You can dispute the listing to the credit bureaus, but that doesn't mean it will be removed. They have 30 days to verify the listing and if it isn't verified it must be removed.


If there are some medical bills on your credit report that should have been paid by your insurance company how can you have these removed?

You can attempt to have any item removed from your credit report by the same method; writing a letter of dispute to the bureaus. "...should have been paid by your insurance company..." is not a valid reason for dispute. If you were to write with this reason, (most likely) the accounts will be verified and they will remain on your credit for 7 years from the date they were defaulted.

If a debt has been paid to the original creditor and they recall it from their collection agency will a dispute succeed in having it removed from the credit report?

Hard to say. Disputing the collection after you pay off the creditor could still come back as 'verified' from the credit bureaus simply because the collection did happen. If the collection agency does not respond to the credit bureau's query, then the entry will be removed.


Is it illegal to dispute a collection in hopes of having it removed even though you know it is correct?

IT's not illegal but it is pointless. It takes substantial proof to have negative information removed. Denying the debt is not enough to have it taken off the CR. It is not illegal to dispute any debt. The (federal) Fair Credit Reporting Act states that bureaus have 30 days to verify any disputed debt. If any debt is not "verified" within that time frame, this debt is shielded from view, regardless of its' accuracy authenticity.
